Game Info : This is one of the all time greatest Adventure games ever created! Not only did it appear on the Amiga, it also appeared on the PC(DOS) and has a large retro following. Released in 1994 and set in a cyberbunk, sci-fi back drop, had your character Robert Foster trying to escape from Union City and to uncover the corruption which lies at the heart of society. There is even a cool intro to this game and it has a great story, of which I won't spoil! It wasn't just the story which made this game great, but nifty puzzles, cool  backgrounds and other characters make this a worthy choice of play on any system.

Thanks to The Company.pl, the Amiga version has been released/updated to version 2.6  so you can now play this on your PC with higher graphical filters.
